FAQ

Since no two businesses are alike, there really isn't a single answer to this question. Splunk is very flexible, both architecturally and from a licensing perspective. The truth is, many companies aren't ready to migrate their entire IT infractructure into the cloud. In those cases, as hybrid architecture of both on-prem Splunk Enterprise and Splunk Cloud, which mirrors the migration path of the enterprise's IT infrastructure into the cloud may make the most sense. In other cases, we've migrated huge petabyte+ Splunk implementations into Splunk Cloud, completely independently of the location of the firm's IT assetts. So, unfortunately, the real answer here is "it depends". As a Professional Services Partner for both Splunk and Amazon Web Services, Concanon is uniquely suited to work with you to determine the optimum near-term solution and migration path for your organization.

2. I'd like to take advantage of Splunk to solve some mission critical Operational Intelligence and CyberSecurity problems in my organization. The trouble is, my capital budget for this year is already overextended. I just can't get capital founds for the kind of Splunk implementation I need to get the job done. Am I out of luck until money frees up next year?

Not surprisingly, this is a very common situation. Both Splunk and Concanon have a number of solutions for you. Splunk Cloud is a Software as a Service implementation of Splunk that's billed as an operational expense, so it never hits your capital budget. And Splunk Cloud isn't the only solution. Concanon can put together customized leasing and financing so even an on-prem Splunk deployment can be handled as an operational expense. Concanon's business development folks can work with you to structure the right solution for your organization.

3. My IT people tell me "Splunk is too expensive" so they're building out a data lake using open source Big Data software. Now that we have some real use cases in mind, they're asking for manpower to write custom code. This is starting to sound pretty expensive. I've already invested a ton of money on my open source data lake. Have I wasted my money?

Welcome to the Open Source debate. You're right. Standing up a team to build out reporting and dashboarding solutions on top of open source Big Data platforms is expensive, and it's a cost that only grows as your use cases grow. We think that if you take an honest looks at Splunk-based solutions, you'll agree that Splunk is the most affordable business analytics and cybersecurity game in town. The great news is that you can leverage the power of Splunk on the data already in your open source data lake. And you can do it quickly and cost-effectively. Concanon can deliver a solution for you based on Hunk, Splunk's "Splunk on Hadoop" solution.
